Marshall High School girls golfteam to play at state a seventhstraight time

As certain as the leaves change color each fall,Marshall High School girls golf coach Dick Hamiltonhas his team in the state finals. Since the MichiganHigh School Athletic Association switched the girlsgolf season to the fall in 2007, Marshall has been atstate every fall since. The secret to the team’ssuccess, if there is a secret, said Hamilton, hasmore to do with the girls playing often and honingtheir skills than his 33 years of coaching experience.“I’ve done it for a long time, so I think that makes alittle difference,” he said. “...The girls have bought into the idea that we only have a few rules: be thereon time, count your shots and don’t complain. Theyunderstand that when they come to practice, they’rethere to work on their game.”See story on page 42

October is all about pink

NATIONALBREAST CANCERAWARENESS MONTH

Editor’s Corner

I had not followed the LanceArmstrong scandal too closely butnonetheless, I found myself both-ered at the news that Armstrong,who inspired so many as he wonhis battle with cancer, urging us to Livestrong as wellas winning the Tour de France, is essentially a cheatand a liar in regards to his use of performance-en-hancing drugs.

Notable sponsors such as Nike and Anheuser-Busch as well as several others announced last weekthat they were cutting ties with Armstrong.

Armstrong himself had to cut ties with his owncharity, leaving in disgrace as chairman.

I saw in USAToday that Armstrong’s stock haddropped so low that in terms of endorsement value,he’s right up there ar 2,129 out of 3,000 with the likesof Fred Willard and Kelsey Grammer.

As for trust value, he’s in the same company asHugh Grant.

Unlike Grant, who was caught with a prostitutenearly two decades ago, but openly admitted he hadacted like an idiot and expressed remorse, Armstronghas yet to speak the truth about how and why hecheated; not only to get ahead in the cycling world,but how he also lied and cheated to his fans and fol-lowers-the same people he made millions of dollarsoff of.

Baseball “greats” Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire andRoger Clemens have never admitted to their allegedcheating, but I’m sure you’d be hard-pressed to findmore than a handful out of 100 people that believethey accomplished what they did on the field withouta little extra something.

Yeah, people felt cheated by baseball, but withArmstrong, it seems even more hurtful and deceitfulbecause Armstrong was more than just an athlete-hebecame an All-American symbol to everyday peoplethat they, too, could beat cancer and that he was justlike them.

The fact that he was more like us makes it all themore sad.

If Armstrong wants to have any chance of retaininga shred of integrity, he needs to come clean abouteverything.

America loves the rags to riches to rags and back toriches story. We are a forgiving people that will givethose who come clean another shot at redemption.

But, the clock is ticking.The time for Armstrong to come clean is now. It’s

time to show us, that maybe, just maybe, there’s somegood in him like we hoped.

Otherwise, he needs to, as columnist ChristineBrennan wrote last week, get on his bike and just goaway.

Until next week, may the good news be yours.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Aside from skin cancer, breastcancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States. How has breastcancer affected your life or the life of a loved one?

Letters cont. to next page

Deb Miller,Ceresco

“I was diagnosed with breast cancerat age 49 through a free mammogramduring Breast Cancer Awareness month,and it changed my life forever. It mademe stop and appreciate life one day at atime.”

Eric Sullivan,Marshall

“My wife was diagnosed at age 49, ata time when they were thinking of mov-ing the mammogram age to 50. If shewould have waited a year, her cancercould have been really bad. Cancerturned our lives upside down. We had toreally modify our lives, but we are luckyit was caught.”

Word on the StreetHow has breast cancer affected you or someone you love?

by John Hendler

Judy Michon,Marshall

“I had breast cancer last year andmy mother died of breast cancer. Butit’s not a death sentence anymore. If Ican make it through, the next lady cantoo. The most important thing that awoman can do is get a yearly mammo-gram. The earlier it’s found, the higherthe survival rate.”

Joy Sommers,Ceresco

“Breast cancer has affected manypeople I know and myself personally,when I was diagnosed with it on Nov.16, 2010. I dealt with it as just another‘challenge.’ I was calm; I didn’t cry.Breast cancer doesn’t care your socialstatus, age, or gender – anyone can getit. I am passionate about finding a curefor this terrible disease.”

Diana Sullivan,Marshall

“I was diagnosed with breast cancersix and half years ago. Before, I usedto be a type A personality, but now Idon’t sweat the small stuff. I’vechanged my outlook on life. I’velearned my own strength and who myreal friends are. I’ve heard people say Ican’t afford the testing. But I ask them,‘What is your life worth?’”

Kathy Hamaker,Marshall

“My step-sister, who was my age,passed away from breast cancer. Thismade me more conscious of gettingmy own check ups done.”

Commissioner Art Kale’s integrity is impeccableTo the Editor:My wife and I have resided

in Calhoun County since1968 so we are very familiarwith what goes on in thecounty and are affected by itin our daily lives. We are writ-ing this letter in support ofArt Kale whom we haveknown for over 35 years. Arthas always been a hard work-ing individual and very dedi-cated to whatever he takes on.As our past commissioner hehas been visible and involved.

We are Albion residentsand see Art at Eggs and Is-sues (a chamber event), at theForks Senior Center, where heis attending meetings or activein the center himself. Art is abusinessman, a communica-tor, a listener and a doer. He isvery active in our community.Art is a leader and has beenall of his life. His style is toinvolve the people necessaryand come to a decision andget the job done. He will thenmove on to the next problem

and tackle that. He is dogged,relentless, positive and thengets into action.

Unlike some other politi-cians, Art Kale is fiscally re-sponsible. He works with abudget and runs governmentmore like a business. I thinkthat is as it should be.

Art has been a strong advo-cate for our Forks SeniorCenter in all ways.

I have noted some of hisstrengths above but will reiter-ate here. Art Kale is very en-

ergetic, he listens and leads,his integrity is impeccable andhe is very visible.

This should be a nonparti-san race and we need to dowhat is best for CalhounCounty.

Please vote for Art Kale.We are.

Not too late to rethink a visionary plan for MarshallTo the Editor:My vision is that we will fi-

nally put an end to the ex-treme positions on both sidesof this divide. The notion thatthe survival of Oaklawn Hos-pital turns on blanket ap-proval of every land use re-quest made is as false as thenotion that any such requestspells death for Historic Mar-shall. Both of these positionsare equally absurd. There is arational middle, said MayorJim Dyer on Feb. 16 at theMarshall Business Associa-tion meeting as published inthe ad-visor&chronicle.

For the purpose of seekingthe “rational middle,” I askthe Marshall City Council toagree with Jim’s vision and

tarry no longer in moving tosupport the appointment of aLocal Historic District StudyCommittee. The possibilitiesof a Local Historic Districthave been on this council’sagenda, off and on, goingback to 2011. Now, a formalrequest has been made tocouncil by the MarshallNeighborhood Associationand the Marshall HistoricalSociety board on Oct. 1, inaccordance with MichiganPublic Act 169 of 1970.

The Hospital and Neigh-borhood Committee was ap-pointed with best intentions ofcreating a visionary outcome.Neither, Oaklawn Hospital, orthe community, was set up forsuccess by the process. The

process, which had severalshortcomings, was unable todeliver the complete picturerequired to plan for develop-ment, given the unique cir-cumstances. It is clear thatone thing the HNC processdelivered is an “us and them”mentality, which in turn, hasleft all participants feelingbruised and battered, and hasresulted in six amendments tothe HNC proposal which sig-nificantly alter their workproduct after almost two yearsof study and expense. At best,that much editing seems to in-dicate the process was notideal. It is not too late to re-think a plan to be visionaryand make Marshall a land de-velopment model. A process

that considers the potential fora preservation ordinance, forone or more historic districtsin the city, may well identifymore opportunities for com-promise toward the hospital’svision.

To be truly visionary weneed to have both eyes open.We need to trust. Let’s keepone eye on the developmentof Oaklawn Hospital andopen the other eye to look atdefining restrictions and pro-tections for land whose his-toric improvements tell Mar-shall’s story of developmentand define the character ofour community. Marshall de-serves nothing less.
